America’s fear of black rage: Why tragic NYPD shootings are so misunderstood

Salon ^ | December 24, 2014 | Professor Brittney Cooper

[2ndDivisionVet]

Yes, she went there. More spin than all the turbines at Hoover Dam.

Why should I be afraid of black rage. Its not affecting most of the country and will only harm blacks in the end.

[Steve_Seattle]

Shut up, professor, just shut up. Where were you when people blamed Sarah Palin for the Arizona shootings that she had NOTHING to do with? By the way, did I say shut up?

[Sasparilla]

“What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want it? Now.” Says everything that needs to be said.

[MamaB]

They were thugs who got what they deserved. It is past time to call them what they were.

[vladimir998]

“... netted me death threats.”

Sometimes it seems like a pity when some of those are not followed through.

I’m just saying. . .

[Steve_Seattle]

"One of the hallmarks of white privilege is the presumption of individuality given to each white person, so that their acts are never taken as indicative of a group."

"White privilege" theory treats whites as a group with common traits that transcend and outweigh personal characteristics and traits, so that the acts of white people are ALWAYS treated as symptomatic and typical of the group.

There is a whole lot of back pedaling going on. They are afraid that they have lost their momentum.

[Tax-chick]

That black lives matter does not go without saying, and that must change. Until we as a nation can affirm that black lives matter without equivocation, we simply haven’t earned the right to say “all lives matter.”

How many abortions have you had, Brittney?

[MeshugeMikey]

there isnt a big enough MAP to cover how slap dash stupid THAT mess was....

, a witness to too much violence, both state and intracommunal.

them intracommunal violins have ALWAYS bugged me.

” I have witnessed too much violent devastation in my short life to advocate its use haphazardly”

WHAT ON EARTH was THAT supposed to mean??

[Kickass Conservative]

I’m curious, when did the term “White Privilege” become part of the every day lexicon?

Where di it begin?

[Steve_Seattle]

"This fear of the unpredictability of black rage is the reason that black people are frequently characterized as angry when we aren’t smiling."

Funny, but it seems to me that the phrase "angry WHITE men" is always coming from the mouths of progressives like Brittney.

[madprof98]

I do not agree with the actions of a mentally ill killer.

Yes, the criminals we like are really just sick people. Pity them. Oh, yeah, and too bad about those cops.

[17th Miss Regt]

Too many drugs during her undergrad years.

"I’m curious, when did the term “White Privilege” become part of the every day lexicon?"

I first heard the expression about five years ago. The Left had to come up with an explanation of why blacks are still lagging behind in so many areas more than fifty years after the civil rights revolution. The theory fails to account for the meteoric rise of Asian Americans in the last thirty years.

[no-to-illegals]

Agree 2nd. Too much spin.

from the article ...
The police want all the power, prestige and respect that come with being a police officer, but none of the responsibility. That responsibility entails keeping the peace, de-escalating conflict and valuing and protecting all lives.

Is difficult to protect a life if that life has a firearm pointed at you or is rushing you with intent to do you harm. Or is failing to comply with a lawful order.

Every life matters. Especially those lives that uphold our laws. Ask any attorney, Professor. Responsibility is a two way street. Pointing a firearm, rushing an Officer, failure to obey a lawful order causes that two way street to turn out one way. Regrettably, Professor Brittney Cooper, must have failed Kindergarten.

[Kickass Conservative]

Jessie Jackson admitted that he feared hearing the footsteps of young Black Men behind him when he was walking down the Street.

The only White Privilege he deals with is bonking that Stupid White Liberal Gal that is on with Hannity once in a while.

[Retired Chemist]

I wonder if the professor was one of those who blamed Sarah Palin for the Giffords shooting?
